Please verify if this is a real Tudor watch
I was given this watch as part of an estate inheritance. I noticed the markings "220m=660ft" is wrong? Shouldn't it be 200m as in all the other ones I see on the internet? Also the word Submariner is kind of larger and more cramped font than all the other confirmed real ones on the internet. Even the work Tudor has cramped spacing compared to others. But its been in the family since 1985. Serial number 756029. Not working either. Is this an early fake? See pics. Thank you for any assistance.

Please post your opinions on this watch. I was planning on selling it on Ebay. But I do not dare list it unless I am sure its real. I had an appraisal done at a local jewelry store. They said its real, and that it needs $800.00 in oil, clean and adjustment to make it work. It currently runs too fast. Its a 40mm, model 7928 according to the "non-rolex" dealer. But it still bothers me that the dial says 220m (not 200m). It was supposed bought in France in the 1960's. Please help me verify this as real or not. I am an honest person who wants to make sure of what I sell. Thank you in advance.

Thanks, I read the Christies auction description. They claim the Tudor rose logo disappeared in 1960-replaced by a shield. We all know that's not a fact. So I think their 220m is based on their guess that 1 meter = 3 feet. That is not correct. 220meters = about 721 feet. Not 660. I may post the tudor watch on ebay for bids. Please if this is fake, let me know. A dealer told me it was just a repainted dial. I have no idea what to believe. the appraiser said its real, but I still wonder about 220m mistake. please help if you can.

Also christies had it as a 7924. It should be a 7928 according to psoictures of these at high end watch dealers. so christies description is not right?

It's interesting that I also found a Basel 2014 press release that references a new model reissue of sorts rated at 220.

This dial is a complete fake. Neither fonts nor Rose shape are correct and also placement and thickness of the markers are wrong.

I did notice that the word 'Submariner" is of a larger and thicker font than all others on verified websites. Do you think the rest of the watch is a fake too?

Please see new pictures of serial number
I took more pics today. Serial and model number. Can someone tell me if they are fake looking? Could not get the back off with a sticky rubber ball as people suggested.
